2016/2017 Fiat 500 Abarth
Just like the regular 500 did a few months ago, the Abarth version gets a few modifications. It’s even more aggressive looking now. Not sure what that is coming over to the US. I would say for the 2017 model year. But we are still waiting for the revised “regular” 500. So who knows…

Lexus LC
Just a few new pictures. (Or at least they are new to me since I haven’t seen them before) This particular one is the Hybrid version. While it does look great even in red. (Most pictures of the LC are of the red one) In a more “regular” color it looks really fantastic. Even the… Continue reading Lexus LC

More pictures of the all new Alfa-Romeo Giulia
It finally looks really nice in a classier color. So far they have mostly been showing the 510HP V6 Quadrifoglio version. The one almost nobody will actually buy. Now we see the real thing, closer to what will actually be in the streets. Most models we will be seeing will be powered by a 2.0… Continue reading More pictures of the all new Alfa-Romeo Giulia

No “Next” Buick Verano for the US
There IS already a brand new Buick Verano. Based on the new Opel Astra. But it is just for China, and apparently, it will stay there. Which is kind of too bad. I mean, I know the market is changing to SUVs. Small near luxury sedans aren’t really setting the world on fire these days…… Continue reading No “Next” Buick Verano for the US

2018 Kia GT
Kia has been testing a production version (top) of the 2011 GT Concept (bottom)for a while. As you can see, it looks fine and pretty much ready to go. And, pretty close to the concept. But it’s been 5 years. Five-years…. So nothing futuristic here. Seems like it could be based on the Hyundai Genesis… Continue reading 2018 Kia GT

Toyota 86 Shooting Brake Concept
This is actually a cool idea. Which would be a nice option to have. Since the regular model is one of these “coupe that looks like a hatch but isn’t one”. This would work as a hatchback version. But no… This was actually developed and designed in Australia by Toyota Australia. So it looks like… Continue reading Toyota 86 Shooting Brake Concept

Chevrolet Camaro Test Drive: a few things…
As I mentioned before, I am really not a fan of that yellow color, but the car itself does look great in real life. It is really quite an impressive design. I mentioned the forward visibility yesterday. Well, it’s way better than from the back. (It does look pretty terrible doesn’t it.) But in real… Continue reading Chevrolet Camaro Test Drive: a few things…

GM+Lyft= JohnnyCab (an alcoholic paradise)
That’s right. GM will partner with Lyft for a self driving car service. By next year! I had no idea the self driving technology was so far advanced… (Maybe because I don’t really want it to be…) A test fleet of Chevrolet Bolts will be available as soon as next year as Lyft’s first driver… Continue reading GM+Lyft= JohnnyCab (an alcoholic paradise)

Chevrolet Camaro Test Drive coming up
I really enjoyed the previous Camaro. I remember test driving the V6 as well as the V8. Both very nice cars. So I have been waiting eagerly for the all new model. As I think it looks great in pictures… And today, finally, there it is. Mine for a week. A yellow one (Weirdly enough,… Continue reading Chevrolet Camaro Test Drive coming up

VW Jetta GLI Test Drive
The current Jetta came out almost 6 years ago. Yes, 6 years. And for all that criticism of being boring and uninspired, I have to admit it has aged very well. Which is usually what happens to “conservative” designs. It is a pretty good looking car. And the GLI version I had for a week… Continue reading VW Jetta GLI Test Drive

2017 Nissan Kicks
Here is the all new Tiny Nissan Kicks. As of now, it is mostly for the south American market. But Nissan calls it “global model”. At first, people thought it could be a replacement for the Juke in the US. But it is actually smaller. And looks bit simpler inside. So this could come here… Continue reading 2017 Nissan Kicks

2017 Peugeot 3008
Still covered up a bit. But this already looks petty good. Again, there might be a slight chance we will actually see this (And other next generation Peugeot models) as part of their test/rental fleet over here. We’ve already seen the futuristic interior a few days ago. But here it is again.

All new Fiat Tipo Hatchback.
This has to be the saddest and worst Italian design I have seen in years. I mean really… There is zero personality anywhere. The front end could be from anyone anywhere. (So is the rest of the car actually) The old Tipo from the late 80’s was a really nice, simple design. And quite modern… Continue reading All new Fiat Tipo Hatchback.

2017 BMW i3
It pretty much looks the same. Except maybe, the dark wood finish inside, which I haven’t seen before? And, finally, the large sunroof will be available in the US. (It was only available last year as part of some limited edition series) The big news is the new battery. It now gets a 115 miles… Continue reading 2017 BMW i3

Ford Escape Spy shots
Not sure what Ford is testing here. But these pictures of a “still” camouflaged Ford Escape were taken just a couple of days ago in California. Strange since it seems to be a regular 2017 model. That’ we’ve already all seen. It really seems to be the same thing. They are obviously still testing something.… Continue reading Ford Escape Spy shots
